The Tigers will travel across the border to face the Blue Jays for their second series of 2018. The Tigers took two of three in Detroit, but the Blue Jays have won 10 of the last 13 in Toronto dating back to 2014.

The Tigers have lost nine consecutive games and haven't shut out an opponent since April 8. Their streak of 74 games without a shutout is longest in MLB this season, recently topping the Blue Jays' previous high of 69 games.

The Blue Jays have won eight of their last nine at home, with at least 10 hits in six of the nine games. They had only reached 10 hits in seven of their previous 31 home games.

Nicholas Castellanos is on a five-game hitting streak, with two hits in four of the five games. He is batting .425 against lefties this season, highest mark in MLB (minimum 75 plate appearances).

Kevin Pillar had his first three-hit game since April 18 in Toronto's loss to Houston. He is slashing just .202/.202/.340 with seven extra-base hits in the month of June after slashing .271/.314/.444 with 26 extra-base hits previously.

Francisco Liriano returned from a hamstring injury and pitched 4.0 innings, giving up two earned runs in a loss to Cleveland. His road ERA is 2.80 compared to 5.47 at home this season and his .250 opponent slugging percentage on the road is lowest in MLB (minimum 35 innings pitched on road).

The left-hander is again a subject of trade speculation as he returns to the Rogers Centre on Friday night as the starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, who will try to end a nine-game losing streak in the opener of a four-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays.
